What is the calculator?

Along the toolbar at the top, you may have noticed the small Rate Calculator button. This is a useful tool that can be used in different ways throughout the app.

Sometimes, you may need help deciding on the best carrier or service for shipping your orders. That’s exactly what the Calculator is meant for. Once you click the Calculator icon in the top center of the app, you’ll see a Rate Calculator window.

When you're ready, just click Get Rates and you’ll see the carriers, service types, estimated delivery times from the carrier (if available), and rate quotes.

With this tool, it's easier to navigate your available choices and zero in on a good fit for a particular order!

You can also use the Rate Calculator while you are working on your orders. You can select an order and click the Calc button in the Order Sidebar to push the information from the order into the Rate Calculator's fields.

Clicking on a rate in the Rate Calculator will push that service combination to the order.

You'll notice that the service and rate change to match the information selected in the rate calculator.

NOTE: The Calculator feature is not currently available for Sendle or DHL Express Australia, but for both carriers you will still be able to use the Get Rate action on an actual order to view shipping rate estimages.
